Cheryl D. Meadows, 66, of Mount Vernon Terrace, Waynesboro, Pa., died at 5:27 a.m. on Sunday, March 3, 2013, in the Waynesboro Hospital after an extended illness.

Born March 30, 1946, in Waynesboro, she was the daughter of the late Wilfred H. and Rhoda Mae (Creager) Reiber.

She lived most of her life in Waynesboro, graduating from Waynesboro High School with the class of 1964. Right after high school, Cheryl went to work in Washington, D.C., in the U.S. Commerce Department and later in Fort Ritchie and Fort Detrick.

Cheryl retired in 2001, after 37 years of service, from the United States Army Medical Material Agency where she worked as an Inventory Management Specialist. Her dedication earned her several awards and letters of recognition for her outstanding work and professionalism, including the Achievement Medal for Civilian Service, for the vital role she played, through her work, in the overall success of Operation Desert Shield/Storm.

She was a private person who enjoyed the solace of the beach. She enjoyed puzzles and was an avid reader.

She is survived by her siblings: Barry W. Reiber and his wife, Deborah K. of Waynesboro; Terry L. Reiber and his wife, Anna M. of Hagerstown, Md.; Kathy S. Hess of Waynesboro; and several nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two infant sisters.

A Memorial Service will be held at 10 a.m. in Five Forks Brethren In Christ Church, 9244 Five Forks Road, Waynesboro, on Thursday, March 7, 2013.

Burial will be private at the convenience of the family.
